The Zola Legend.
Bo far, at least, as Paris Is con-
cerned the Zola legend has gone the
way of most others. It may now be
written down as dead. This Is clearly
proved by the results of the sales of
his furniture and personal belongings,
which is usually the enthusiast’s op-
portunity. Though working for his
literary effects In social strata not con-
genial to many; M. Zola had his own
notions of artistic and refined environ
ment, which found expression in hia
home. It is just these personal re
flections of the late novelist's mind,
drawn from the house where many
of his books were written, that have
been offered to the public. To say
that the result was disappointing
would scarcely refloct the facts.
Things costly and even nandsome ol
themselves have been going for the
proverbial “old song." --London Globe,

THE NECESSITY OF PROPER
BREATHING.

care of the nose and mouth that will
be read to their profit by all mothers.
Of proper breathing, she says: “If
there are obstructions in either the
mouth or the nose which prevent the
free introduction of air, the blood is
not aerated as it should be, and the
whole bodily nutrition suffers in con-
sequence, The trouble occasioned by
